Beauty

I was just checking things on Facebook when I saw that one of my favourite blogs has got a new S/S 13 Lookbook, so I thought, well why not check it out, and the pictures were amazing. Mr Kate – the blog – had got Milan, a model, to do their photos, and I have never seen such cool model pictures! So I searched around, and I found Milan’s Portfolio, and I am going to show you a few pictures! OMG, I love them! (Pictures from PhotoGenics)…

Picture above (3rd), is from the Mr Kate Look Book

WOW. I mean pure beauty. I love these pictures! Doesn’t everyone want to be this beautiful? I am sure Milan is going to become big! If not, she must be already 😉 I will definitely be doing more model posts!

Oh Yay! 3rd December 🙂 Only 22 days until Christmas! I hope you are all ready 🙂 We’re putting up our tree in the next week and I am so excited to get everything feeling christmasy! So here is your third online advent prezzie!

Barry M Moisturising Lip Paints £4.49 (ASOS)

I am very sorry to those who think this is late, but I know! Haha Anyway here is my online Advent Calendar…

1st December: Leafy & Lovely Bath Salts £1.99 (For Her & For You)

2nd December: Police Original EDT Spray £9.95 (For Him)

Yes the easy to do Ponytail is hot! Loads of celebrities and models are wearing it, high or low. Here’s a few pictures (Found on Telegraph.co.uk)…

Victoria Beckham - Low Pony

Model at Jason Wu - High Pony

Gwyneth Paltrow - High Pony

Secondly, here is my Ponytail guide!…

This Make-Up List is inspired by the Pixiwoo video on Youtube, and it is pretty much what it says on the tin. It is a natural golden Party Make-Up, which is great for the camera. So here it is!…

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream Universal Glow £7.99, Maybelline NY Dream Soft Blush Peach No 2 £6.49, Accessorize Volumising Mascara Jet Black £4.95, Accessorize Merged Eyeshadow Golden Caramel £3.95, MUA Professional Primer £4.00, 2true Plumptuous Lip Gloss No 6 Rose Pink £1.99 & Accessorize Chrome One Coat Nail White Gold £3.45 (All from Superdrug).

This look really needs a light foundation, one which really looks fresh and hydrated, which will look great on camera. It also needs a cream blush, because it will look a lot brighter and a bit more natural. It also involves using a primer, which you can get from MUA. You can also make one yourself, by just mixing Foundation & Moisturiser together in a small container! But, this primer is so affordable, and is totally long lasting. I have seen that this mascara is totally recommended on other fashion & beauty blogs, so I think it is a great one to use.

Happy End Of November, and make sure you have your Advent Calendars ready! <3

Now, as you know The Blogger Trend is big this season, so I decided to take you down a trip of getting inspired. So, I am welcoming you to my workspace and bedroom…

Pin Board & Instagram Wall

Pin Boards & Instagram Walls are so easy to create. I bought my Pin Board back in the UK, for under £4 at Staples, and just got a bunch of pins. I stick on To Do lists, things I would love to own, places I would love to go, magazine clippings, labels, and other cool stuff, including a piece of candy rock, and a mini shoe keyring! To create in Instagram Wall, all you have to do is create an account, take some snaps, and print them out, and then, obviously, stick them up!

Everything! Oh, and my Dr Marten poster!

Yep! I have a Dr Marten poster! It is to keep me dreaming of owning a pair! I also have my Access All Areas pass from the Clothes Show London 2011, and a dollar note up there. Interesting… but, it looks cool, and it keeps me cool – by that, I mean thinking & dreaming cool stuff!

Sorry, I just couldn’t resist! I love this birthday ‘cat’ that I got this year, it’s so cute! Also, I love the clipping I cut out of the ‘Fashion’s Most Wanted’.

I love my Dr Marten’s poster! I also love, cute cartoon things, like this Make-Up case! It’s great for holding stuff that you don’t use all the time, and also a cute decoration! Also, here’s another picture of my Instagram Wall, just so you can see the sorts of things I like to show off! Ha!

To make your room extra colourful, and quirky, just add some cute flirty decorations! I love it! Also, things I do like to put on my Instagram Wall, are pictures of cool items, my cat, my sister – as I miss her so much 😉 – and anything generally well Instagramed.

So, there you have it! An insight into how I get inspired, and I like to show off my style. Oh, and when my room is painted, I will do a tour of my room 😉 Also, if you want to know some of my favourite online Pinboards, here they are…

Pinterest – I love the ease of it, but it is mostly public, and public sharing.

Springpad – I prefer this for private sharing, and private notebooks. I like making up notebooks to help friends think of ideas for their bedrooms etc.

Yes, it’s the new big competition in the modelling world. Will Miranda Kerr out run Kate Moss? The new girl on the seen (Well, if you like to call modelling since you were 13 ‘new!’) is giving Kate Moss a run for her money! Next season, see’s the Baby Face, Victoria’s Secret Angel, Miranda take on the role of the Mango Model for the Spring 13 Campaign. Kate Moss was modelling for Mango, for the past 3 seasons, but now things have changed around. Now, except from Kate’s new biography & documentary (I know, it’s been a very long wait…), do you think it won’t be long until Kate Moss is only seen in the history books? Well, the other day I did a ‘Fashion-Off’ between the females of the I’m A Celebrity Jungle, and actually I’m going to use that again! Let the games begin…

I’m going to leave this one to you guys… Enter the poll below…

Most winters we wrap up warm in thickest layers we own, and perhaps, even just attempt going outside. But! Do we really think about our lips? It’s time we show them some love, so here are 5 Lipbalms I love, and also 5 hand creams in which will keep your hands moisturised and loved 🙂 Enjoy… Also, these hand creams and lip balms will make perfect gifts!

Blistex Relief Cream £2.25 (Superdrug)

I was researching some DIY things on YouTube etc, and came across this! I thought I would do a DIY as it is so simple, and so nice! There are 2 ways of doing it, but I did it with pads. First some research about Green Tea…

Green Tea can…

• Reduce aging.
• Counteract Oxidisation.
• Support the immune system – If used as a drink.
  
• Refresh tired skin.
• Protect your skin for harmful sun rays – You may still need to use a sun lotion, so don’t just use Green Tea!
  

You can use this in a spray bottle – All you have to do is pour the tea into the bottle, and use it as a toner.

Oh, and this is my last post until I get internet! Or should I say… Oh, et ceci est mon dernier message jusqu’à ce que j’obtienne internet! (Google Translate! Ha Ha…) So… Au Revoir!

I recently applied for a tester of this new Maybelline BB Cream, and because of moving I didn’t think it would arrive, but I received it this morning! I am really happy I did, and you can see why below! You can get a free tester via me, if you message me saying you want an invitation for some samples, and then I will get it done for you, and then you just have to receive a message with the invitation!

1 – Q&A for BB Creams:

• What is a BB Cream? Maybelline say that a BB Cream is not a foundation, and is not just a moisturiser, but is a lightweight cream that makes you look fresh-faced and perfected, and not ‘made-up’.
• Why go for Dream Fresh? Maybelline also say that you should go for it because it is oil-free, and is water-based which means it is much lighter than most other BB Creams. There are 4 shades so you can find the right tone, and there is no fussing, no caking and no tide marks. It is just 8-in-1 perfection with SPF 30 protection.

2. Is the 8-in-1 True? What Maybelline says, and my answers:

• Imperfections look blurred – Yes.
• A Natural looking glow – Yes.
• Fresh Feel – Absolutely.
• Compliments Skin Tone – Definitely.
• Skin looks smooth – Yes.
• Hydrates – Yes.
• Protects with SPF 30 – Yes.
• Oil-Free & Non-Greasy – Yes.

What exactly do I think?

I have never used a Foundation because I generally don’t need it at my age, but I have heard about BB Creams, and I thought I should try it out. Maybelline has got it right! It is exactly what they say it is. It is so light! It feels amazing, and it literally feels like you aren’t wearing anything. I think it is great if your skin is pretty much fine, but you have little bits of red areas or little tiny spots etc etc. I really want to get the actual BB Cream, but for now inbetween the move, I will have to stay with these testers! I really do recommend this BB Cream, it is a Dream Cream!

Tint: 10/10 – Really compliments well.

Feel: 10/10 – Fresh, clear, light feeling, as if you’re wearing nothing!

Coverage: 9/10 – It is really light but blends so well, and is great for small blemishes.

OVERALL: 10/10 – I really want this BB Cream, and ASAP, I will be getting it!

You can buy this BB Cream from Superdrug for £7.99 but they also have a deal which means it is 2 for £10!
